On June 13, 2013, China's crewed Shenzhou 10 spacecraft made its successful docking with the Tiangong-1 space lab, marking the country's second mission to the mini-space station.
This kicked off 12 days of docked operations for Shenzhou 10's three-person crew, which included Wang Yaping – China's second woman to fly in space. The astronauts performed many technological, physical and scientific experiments while on board, including on-orbit examinations of the Tiangong-1's crew's lungs, hearts and biochemistry conditions. While the medical impacts of the astronauts were the mission's main focus, it also marked a first for the Chinese: Wang beamed live science lessons for students during two space science lectures.

00:00On this day, in space.
00:04In 2013, China's crewed Shenzhou-10 spacecraft made it successful
00:08docking with the Tiangong-1 space lab, marking the country's second mission to the
00:12mini space station. This kicked off 12 days of docked operations for
00:16Shenzhou-10's three-person crew, which included China's second woman to fly in
00:20space, Wang Yaping. The astronauts performed many technological,
00:24physical, and scientific experiments while on board, including on-orbit
00:28examinations of the crew's lungs, hearts, and biochemistry conditions.
00:32While the medical impacts of the astronauts were the main focus of the mission, it also marked a
00:36first for the Chinese. Wang deemed live science lessons for students during two
00:40space science lectures. And that's what happened on this day in space.
